View What Vegetables Can Be Planted In The Fall
Background. 20 vegetables you can plant right now you have options for leafy greens, root veggies, and vegetables you can ferment for a healthy snack all winter long (great for kid's lunches too!) each vegetable listed takes between 60 to 90 days to mature, so you can expect a reasonably large harvest (depending on how much you plant) by the time frost hits. However, fast growers like lettuce, parsley, radishes, arugula, or vegetables you will harvest small (baby carrots and young leaves of spinach, kale, and swiss chard) can easily be grown from seed or starts, depending on your preference.
You might be surprised that there are so many options!
Sweet, tender lettuce should be planted 4 to 8 weeks before the first frost, and can be harvested at all stages, from baby leaf to full head. Many fall vegetables can be started as seedlings rather than sown directly in the ground. Sow lettuce seeds in late summer to early fall for continuous harvest at any time of the season. Planting dates are influenced by how long it takes for the crop to develop and its ability to withstand a freeze.
